Chapter 33: Guardians of Doom
On the main street of Yilong Town, Li Wudao was sitting in a carriage, and Qi Meng was driving the carriage straight to Qige Medicinal Herbs Shop.
The vendors on the road were cursing, tables, chairs and benches were turned into broken wood, and fruits and vegetables were scattered all over the ground.
"Young Master Lan was actually beheaded!"
"Now the Lan family has a reason to attack. A disaster is about to happen in Yilong Town!"
Some people were talking about it, and some were searching the Lan family members, trying to use their belongings to make up for the losses. Some even looked at the Ghost Face Killer and wanted to take advantage of him.
Just as the man approached the ghost-faced killer timidly, the eyes in the ghost mask suddenly opened, startling the man.
The ghost-faced killer jumped up, covered his chin with one hand, stared at the man coldly, then looked in the direction where Li Wudao was leaving, and then left.
In the carriage, Li Wudao groaned in pain. He had never suffered such a serious injury before. His hands were broken, and he was powerless to resist the ghost-faced killer.
If Li Wudao hadn't made a breakthrough on the spot, it would have been almost impossible to escape!
"Does it hurt so much? What should I do?" Hearing Li Wudao's painful groan, Qi Meng was at a loss.
"It's okay, just a kiss from me is enough." Li Wudao didn't want Qi Meng to worry, so he joked with her in the carriage.
Qi Meng was driving outside. When she heard Li Wudao's words, she turned around and put her head into the carriage. With a shy face, she kissed Li Wudao directly on his blood-stained face.
Then she turned her head back shyly and continued driving. Li Wudao looked at her shy appearance with a smile on his lips, as if the wounds on his arms no longer hurt.
The horse galloped, the wheels spun, and Li Wudao returned all the way to Qige Medicinal Materials Shop.
"Brother Li, what's wrong with you?" Luo Yuan, with a beard, looked at Li Wudao worriedly. The blood all over his body really frightened him.
Although Li Wudao only had the great success cultivation level of the Bitter Sea Realm, he was not considered a weakling in Yilong Town. He did not expect to be beaten like this.
"It's okay." Li Wudao was very weak. He didn't say much to Luo Yuan. He went upstairs with Qi Meng to take medicine.
After the bone was straightened, the medicine was applied, and the white cloth was applied, Qi Meng finally breathed a sigh of relief. Tianyuan Wuti's recovery ability was amazing, and in a short time, the wounds on Li Wudao's arms no longer hurt.
On the second floor of Qige Herbal Medicine Shop, Li Wudao raised his arms wrapped in white cloth, smiled helplessly and said, "It's only been a few days since I healed my waist injury, and now I have to heal my hand injury again."
"You are the one who is being heroic. I may not be a match for the Ghost-faced Killer." Qi Meng rolled her eyes at Li Wudao, believing that she could fight against the Ghost-faced Killer.
Li Wudao shook his head, looked into Qi Meng's eyes and said, "Your last move on Li Feng might have aroused suspicion. Remember, I want you to be a humble warrior in the Bitter Sea Realm and become my trump card."
Under the care of Old Man Ling, Qi Meng has never left the house since she was a child, and few people know about her specific cultivation level.
Li Wudao hid her not only to protect her, but also as a trump card.
"Okay, what are we going to do now?" Although Qi Meng didn't understand what Li Wudao's plan was, she understood the logic.
Li Wudao looked at his hands and smiled bitterly, then looked towards the slums of Yilong Town.
The next day, the weather was getting cooler, and the autumn wind was bleak, so people put on more clothes. Li Wudao, dressed in a straight green robe, came with Qi Meng to the
A slum of low stone houses.
The air here was filled with the stench of rotting vegetable leaves, sweat, sewage, damp mold, and the stench of human and animal corpses—a truly mixed bag of flavors. Smelling this familiar, humble odor, Li Wudao felt unusually at home.
"Is this stone building the surprise you mentioned?" Qi Meng said with surprise as she looked at the place where she and Li Wudao used to live, which had now become a tall stone building.
"Let's go in and take a look." The sounds of children playing coming from the stone building made Li Wudao feel better.
The two walked forward, Qi Meng took out the key from Li Wudao's arms, and pushed open the heavy wooden door of the stone building.
In the hall, half-grown children were running freely. They were extremely talented, and the slave market did not suppress them too much for fear that they would lose their spirituality and become difficult to sell, so they still retained their childish nature.
"Greetings, Master." The two adult slaves who were responsible for taking care of the children's daily life saw Li Wudao coming over and knelt on both knees to salute. At the same time, they scolded the group of children and asked them to come over and salute as well.
"Greetings, Master~" Twenty-four children, both boys and girls, spoke together sparsely.
Li Wudao nodded and introduced them: "This is your mistress."
"Greetings, Madam!" many slaves shouted together.
Qi Meng pinched Li Wudao's arm and nodded shyly.
Although Li Wudao and Qi Meng did not have a wedding and were not actually husband and wife, in Li Wudao's heart, Qi Meng must be his wife without a doubt.
"Oh, you're finally here." Shopkeeper Qian popped his head out, glanced at Qi Meng, and then said to Li Wudao, "These kids are too naughty. There's no way to discipline them!"
It was incredibly difficult to raise a group of children into talented individuals, and even half-grown children were despised by dogs, their misbehavior unrepentant. Even a seasoned veteran like Qian felt a headache just looking at them.
"It's okay, I have a way." Li Wudao smiled calmly, with a kind of confidence that he could remain calm even if the mountains collapsed and the earth cracked.
"Do you really have a way? You are not lying to me!" Shopkeeper Qian stroked his beard with a look of disbelief on his face.
When Li Wudao sent the slaves overnight, he had said that there was a way, but Manager Qian had been taking care of the children for the past two days and had no confidence in Li Wudao at all.
These kids are so naughty, they can climb up the roof and tear off the tiles if we’re not watching them!
Li Wudao nodded confidently but said nothing. Shopkeeper Qian looked at him in confusion. Soon someone came in from outside the wooden door.
"Shopkeeper Li, the medicinal herbs have been delivered to you. I thought you might need them, so I also sent three wooden barrels." The man was a peddler who often delivered goods to Li Wudao. He was quite smart, and Li Wudao usually entrusted things to him.
"Thank you for your hard work." Qi Meng took out some silver notes from her pocket and gave them to him, a total of two thousand taels of silver.
These medicinal herbs were hard to come by. He transported them from Tianlan City. Many of them were not available in Yilong Town and were extremely expensive and precious.
The man took the banknote, put down his things and left without asking any questions.
"What are these?" Shopkeeper Qian looked at the three wooden barrels of medicinal herbs with a puzzled look on his face.
The three large wooden barrels were each more than a person tall, about the size of a man's arms, and filled to the brim with various medicinal herbs. Li Wudao leaped onto the barrels, checked them, and smiled with satisfaction.
"This is the key to cultivating them into talents!" Li Wudao said confidently with a sharp gleam in his eyes.
"That's it? Is it reliable?" Shopkeeper Qian was unconvinced. Can medicinal herbs be used to nurture children? That's absolutely impossible!
Qi Meng had full confidence in Li Wudao. She worked with two slaves to refine the medicinal herbs. After three hours, they stewed three large buckets of medicinal herbs into a small pot of medicinal soup.
Guardian of Doom!
This is a method of training death warriors, and it was also highly valued in Li Wudao's memory of his previous life.
Ordinary people cultivate death warriors based on internal martial arts, cultivating the breath. However, this Doomsday Guard actually cultivates muscles, bones and skin, and does not rely on the vitality of heaven and earth, but only the power of the five elements.
This puzzled Li Wudao. Why not use the readily available Heaven and Earth Qi instead of utilizing something as scarce as the Five Elements? In his opinion, this was putting the cart before the horse.
But no matter what, this secret method is most suitable for Li Wudao to use now.
The Guardians of Doomsday are divided into two parts, the Mother and the Son. The Mother Sutra is the first, and the Son Sutra controls the world.
Sub-Jiang practitioners only need to absorb the power of the Five Elements to become even more powerful. Furthermore, each sub-Jiang practitioner is connected to the other, and can be coordinated and coordinated by the mother-Jiang practitioner, including unifying their personalities and behaviors, and being under absolute control.
This is the strength of the Guardians of Doom, absolute obedience!
"Come and have a sip." Li Wudao asked the adult slaves to feed the child the medicine, and then he stimulated the Qi and blood in his Dantian, circulated the Mother Guardian Meridian of Doomsday, and placed his hand on the child's Dantian to help him digest the power of the medicine and form a small circulation in the meridians that circulated on its own.
Then Li Wudao followed suit and had the remaining twenty-three children drink the medicine soup.
This medicinal soup is both an initiator and the power of wood in the five elements. It can directly help them lay the foundation and form a self-circulating circulation in the children's bodies.
After everything went smoothly, Li Wudao also expended a lot of physical energy, squinting his eyes as if he was resting.
"It doesn't make any difference. Two thousand taels of silver are just wasted like that?" Shopkeeper Qian was a little disappointed as he looked at the children running and playing everywhere.
Seeing Li Wudao's confidence, he thought a miracle would happen.
"Greetings, Master! Greetings, Mistress!" Suddenly, the children who were running and playing around gathered together, knelt on one knee, and saluted Li Wudao in unison.
Although their faces still retained a childish look, they held a certain sharpness. Like unmined iron ore, they would, given time, be polished into a sword, revealing a terrifying edge!
"This... this, actually worked!" Shopkeeper Qian's mouth was trembling, stunned by the scene in front of him.
He simply couldn't understand how the children who had just been running wild could suddenly become so organized and well-trained like soldiers who had trained for years!
"I told you I have a way." Li Wudao opened his eyes and nodded with satisfaction. He selected the best discipline and loyalty from among the twenty-four children and implanted them into the hearts of other children, which led to this effect.
"Unbelievable, unbelievable!" Shopkeeper Qian exclaimed in amazement and was stunned.
"Li Wudao, you are so awesome!" Qi Meng said, pulling Li Wudao's arm.
"Master is mighty!" the two adult slaves said in unison.
Li Wudao ignored them and said directly to the twenty-four Doomsday Guardians, "Practice the exercises every day and absorb the power of the five elements from the vital energy of heaven and earth."
"Yes, we will follow the master's orders!" The Guards of Doom said in unison. Although there were not many of them, they were quite imposing.
Looking at the Doomsday Guardians kneeling before him, Li Wudao nodded in satisfaction. Although they were only at the Minor Success stage of the Bitter Sea Realm, they would one day become the sharpest swords in Li Wudao's hands!
